Own less. Live more. Finding minimalism in a world of consumerism.

still so far to go

this afternoon, we went to the beach. while soaking in the sun, i realized how far i still have to go to become minimalist. i looked around at our belongings strewn all over the sand and counted over 50 items:

3 large inflatable devices

19 small plastic toys

2 chairs

6 towels

2 coolers

1 pop-up tent

3 cell phones/camera

shirts/sandals/shorts

soda cans/bags of chips/fruit snacks

3 bags to carry everything

the goal was to have 3.5 hours of relaxation – and we needed 50 man-made things to make that happen. we’ve got so far to go.
